Predict(PlacementName, UserEvent, string, int?, CallSettings)

public virtual PagedEnumerable<PredictResponse, PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult> Predict(PlacementName name, UserEvent userEvent, string pageToken = null, int? pageSize = null, CallSettings callSettings = null)

Makes a recommendation prediction. If using API Key based authentication, the API Key must be registered using the [PredictionApiKeyRegistry][google.cloud.recommendationengine.v1beta1.PredictionApiKeyRegistry] service. Learn more.

Parameters
NameDescription
namePlacementName

Required. Full resource name of the format: {name=projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/eventStores/default_event_store/placements/*} The id of the recommendation engine placement. This id is used to identify the set of models that will be used to make the prediction.

We currently support three placements with the following IDs by default:

  • shopping_cart: Predicts items frequently bought together with one or more catalog items in the same shopping session. Commonly displayed after add-to-cart events, on product detail pages, or on the shopping cart page.

  • home_page: Predicts the next product that a user will most likely engage with or purchase based on the shopping or viewing history of the specified userId or visitorId. For example - Recommendations for you.

  • product_detail: Predicts the next product that a user will most likely engage with or purchase. The prediction is based on the shopping or viewing history of the specified userId or visitorId and its relevance to a specified CatalogItem. Typically used on product detail pages. For example - More items like this.

  • recently_viewed_default: Returns up to 75 items recently viewed by the specified userId or visitorId, most recent ones first. Returns nothing if neither of them has viewed any items yet. For example - Recently viewed.

The full list of available placements can be seen at https://console.cloud.google.com/recommendation/datafeeds/default_catalog/dashboard

userEventUserEvent

Required. Context about the user, what they are looking at and what action they took to trigger the predict request. Note that this user event detail won't be ingested to userEvent logs. Thus, a separate userEvent write request is required for event logging.

pageTokenstring

The token returned from the previous request. A value of null or an empty string retrieves the first page.

pageSizeint

The size of page to request. The response will not be larger than this, but may be smaller. A value of null or 0 uses a server-defined page size.

callSettingsCallSettings

If not null, applies overrides to this RPC call.

Returns
TypeDescription
PagedEnumerablePredictResponsePredictResponseTypesPredictionResult

A pageable sequence of PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult resources.

Example
// Create client
PredictionServiceClient predictionServiceClient = PredictionServiceClient.Create();
// Initialize request argument(s)
PlacementName name = PlacementName.FromProjectLocationCatalogEventStorePlacement("[PROJECT]", "[LOCATION]", "[CATALOG]", "[EVENT_STORE]", "[PLACEMENT]");
UserEvent userEvent = new UserEvent();
// Make the request
PagedEnumerable<PredictResponse, PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult> response = predictionServiceClient.Predict(name, userEvent);

// Iterate over all response items, lazily performing RPCs as required
foreach (PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult item in response)
{
    // Do something with each item
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}

// Or iterate over pages (of server-defined size), performing one RPC per page
foreach (PredictResponse page in response.AsRawResponses())
{
    // Do something with each page of items
    Console.WriteLine("A page of results:");
    foreach (PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult item in page)
    {
        // Do something with each item
        Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

// Or retrieve a single page of known size (unless it's the final page), performing as many RPCs as required
int pageSize = 10;
Page<PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult> singlePage = response.ReadPage(pageSize);
// Do something with the page of items
Console.WriteLine($"A page of {pageSize} results (unless it's the final page):");
foreach (PredictResponse.Types.PredictionResult item in singlePage)
{
    // Do something with each item
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}
// Store the pageToken, for when the next page is required.
string nextPageToken = singlePage.NextPageToken;
